Classical Background

The most important and widely used emetic is ‘Madanaphala yoga’ administered orally. While further elaborating the Vamana Karma classics also mentions that the persons who are reluctant to take medicine orally can be made to emit by giving the medicine as an errhine. With this classical background, the present study made an attempt to understand the olfactory route of medicine administration to induce Vamana against the oral route. Madanaphala (Randia Dumatorum) seed powder sprinkled over lotus and rose flow-er were used as Ghreya Vamaka Yoga in comparison with Madanaphala Yoga administered orally. Objec-tives: To evaluate the efficacy of Ghreya Yoga in inducing Vamana through Nasal Route. To evaluate the Olfaction effect through Rose medium, in comparison with Lotus medium. To evaluate the efficacy of Na-sal route as against the Oral route. Methods: A Comparative clinical study done on 45 subjects of both sexes, between the age group of 21-50years who were randomly assigned into 3 groups namely- Group-A, Group-B and Group-C. Vamana karma with Ghreya Madanaphala Pippali Churna sprinkled on lotus flower, rose flower and Madanaphala pippali yoga administered orally. The Vamana karma was done in the following order: Purva karma, Pradhana karma & Paschat karma. After the completion of the thera-py, the results were assessed by comparing the data collected during the therapy. Result: Nasal route of administration of Vamaka yoga also works efficiently, Ghreya yoga worked in par with oral yoga & Madanaphala Pippali Churna sprinkled over lotus and rose produced same effect in inducing Vamana.

Dushta Vrana is a common and frequently encountered problem faced in surgical practice. The presence of Dushta Vrana worsens the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal. Local factors on wound like slough, infection and foreign body, affect the normal process of healing. A healthy wound in a normal body heals earlier with a minimum scar as compared to a contaminated wound. Therefore in this study all the efforts are made to make a Dushta Vrana into a Shuddha Vrana. Once the Vrana becomes Shuddha, Ropana of the Vrana will start. The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jatyadi Taila and Jatyadi Ghrita in Dushta Vrana. Clinically diagnosed 60 Patients of Dushta Vrana were randomly divided into two groups, each consisting of 30 Patients. Group A were treated with the Jatyadi Taila and Group B was treated by Jatyadi Ghrita. The results observed was based on the relief obtained on the subjective and objective parameters taken for consideration for this study viz, size of ulcer, discharge, smell, pain, burning sensation, itching and granulation were found significant (P Lass Than 0.05). On the basis of assessment criteria and overall result of treatment, the patients of Jatyadi Taila group showed better results when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita group. Even though statistically there is no much significant difference between the two groups, but by seeing the effect on individual parameters (subjective and objective) and over all response, Jatyadi Taila seems to be effective when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita. It is having more Ropana qualities when compared to Shodhana.
